[Bahamut]

Well that gives the word "Platinum" a run for your money

Just wondering, is Undermountain more graphically intense than normal NWN? Like, if I'm somwhat choppy at parts in NWN on the lowest settings, would it be a struggle for me in UNdermountain?

[robertthebard]

Yes, some of the areas are pretty graphically intense. It may be cheaper to just upgrade your ram and video card.
Edit: One of these days, I'll learn how to spell...

I finally installed this game, need to get the expansions to see Zirocs handy work though. Looking forward to that. I was bummed that my lil spy / love interest in the single player version was dead before I could have that evening I would never forget hehe

[Hivetyrant]

Yeah, If I had know HOTU made NWN's so much better looking (Well the textures anyway) I would have gotten it much earlier

Well, I turned most of the stuff way down. I'll have a look a little later, and tell you what I turned down.

BTW, my comp doesn't even meet most of the requirements for the game, and it works fine. In fact, most of my games are apparantly too much for my computor. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]Cheap self build spec (UK prices, shop around matey ):

Mobile Athlon Barton 2500 £55
1gb Value Dual channel Ram £60
Radeon 9600 £60
Cheap Socket A mobo £40

That'll see you through most of last years games quite happily because you can overclock the mobile chip to 2400mhz at a conservative estimate.

[Sir Goulum]

Meh, whatever. I figure all I really need is a new graphics card and some more ram. Maybe a new sound card too. I might get some of these if I get this job.

[wellard]

My mother board has only a 4xAGP slot so my choice of video card upgrade is limited to 'waste of time' status.

What are the mac specs? Anyone know? I got mine on PC, but the PC is a slow-assed mofo. My mac is the bomb. I may buy the mac game if I can't find my manual.

[Sir Goulum]

Requirements for HotU is:
System Requirements: Macintosh computer running OSX v10.2.8 or higher, 800MHz G4 or faster processor (1.2GHz or faster recommended), 256MB RAM, 32MB or higher (NVIDIA GeForce 2/ATI Radeon recommended) video card, 1.2GB free hard drive space, 8X CD-ROM drive, local area network, with TCP/IP protocol or established internet connection for multiplayer (56 Kbps modem or faster required).

NWN w/o SoU and HotU is much less. [img]smile.gif[/img]
